Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Friday said the government could acquire up to half of the Mexican unit of Citigroup after the U.S. bank announced plans this week to pursue an initial public offering of the business. Lopez Obrador, speaking at a press conference, noted that the bank had also said it wants the unit known as Banamex to have Mexican shareholders. Citi on Wednesday said it was planning an IPO for the Mexican unit, abandoning earlier plans for a sale, prompting Lopez Obrador to announce that the Mexican government could invest in Banamex and had up to $3 billion at its disposal.  ( 7 min )

Traders of futures contracts tied to the Federal Reserve's policy rate boosted bets on Friday that the U.S. central bank is not yet done on raising interest rates, after a government report showed inflation last month rose faster than expected. Implied yields on the contracts rose after the Commerce Department report, reflecting about a 60% chance that the Fed will increase its target range for the benchmark rate, currently at 5%-5.25%, by a quarter of a percentage point at its June meeting. Futures contracts earlier in the day were pricing in about a 60% chance the Fed would skip a June rate hike.  ( 5 min )

The government reported Friday that the year-over-year figure was down sharply from a peak of 7% last June yet remains far above the Fed's 2% inflation target, and it surpassed the 4.2% figure in March.  ( 8 min )
